From the Sunday papers: husband’s tale, Tom Cruise’s unlucky number and Tony Blair in denial

ONE DIRECTION star Harry Styles has been called a "rat" and a "spoilt little rich kid" by the husband of a 32-year-old woman the singer bedded, according to the Sunday Mirror.

TOM CRUISE has been "weirdly dogged" by the number 33, says The Sun. Each of his three wives – Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman and now Katie Holmes – was 33 when their marriage to the Hollywood actor fell apart.

FORMER prime minister Tony Blair has claimed he's not part of the super-rich, despite owning six houses and having an estimated income of £20m a year, The Sunday Telegraph reports.

NICOLAS SARKOZY has been accused of asking a female MP for a sexual favour in exchange for a €5m grant to refurbish her town’s museum, according to an explosive new book.

SERNIOR TORIES have been linked to the interest rate-fixing scandal by The Independent, which reveals that Conservative deputy chairman Michael Fallon is on the board of a company involved in the FSA's investigation into malpractice in the City.

EX-MODEL Jade Jagger tied the knot yesterday in a ceremony that saw her Rolling Stones father Mick wear a natty purple striped suit.
